Head of IGP’s Special Operations Taskforce fighting the alarming illegal drug trade and consumption in the Northern Region, DSP Ahaji Jalil Bawah has served notice that some chiefs may soon be handcuffed and shamed over their involvement in the menace.
He indicated that the move is not intended to undermine the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa Abukari II, but rather aimed at injecting sanity into the system, given that some traditional rulers appear complicit in the fight against the menace.
Speaking at a public gathering as part of a sensitisation drive on activities of the IGP’s Special Operations Taskforce, he described the canker as a poison to society, rallying all stakeholders to support in wiping the system of criminally-minded persons making mincemeat out of people’s future.
“We are not in the region to disgrace chiefs, but some chiefs want to destroy the future of our children. You cannot be a chief and harbour those selling poison in your home and selling it to others, we must name and shame those chiefs. It won’t be long before we will handcuff some chiefs and let them tell the whole world their role in the trade of illegal drugs. I am speaking on behalf of the IGP, thanking all those who support the fight against the trade, he said.
He also underscored the need for the youth to shy away from the consumption of illegal drugs or risk facing the team in order to restore the lost glory of Dagbon, which was once respected.
